Madleina's Story
I first came into contact with Pilates during my eight years of ballet training. The positive effects were noticeable remarkably quickly – Pilates allowed me to use mobility and strength effectively and with ease, both in dancing and in everyday life.
After finishing secondary school, I completed training as a Pilates trainer, and alongside my studies I've been teaching at Pilates Christoph Klaus ever since.
